About the photo

Our Basque gastronomic society continues apace. We had our third Txoko last night and it was a blast. Here we have the beginnings of plating by one of the chefs at the new W downtown.

His contribution was Barbacoa Empanadas with Black Garlic Mole and Escabeche.

I knocked out a Vietnamese Chicken Fried Meatloaf Banh Mi and there were several other offerings as well.

Good Txoko.

  It's our gastronomic society. A group of men who gather together with a bunch of groceries and wine and cook and socialize together.
  
  No women.
  
  No politics.
  
  No religion.
  
  Everything else is fair game.
  
  We've done 3 so far and are looking forward to doing many more.
